We all know that brunch isn’t just for eating anymore. It’s for Instagramming. You stretch your arms upwords, blindly tapping as you try to take the perfect photo of your runny yolk.

You give in. You become that annoying person standing on a chair to take a photo of your food. You ignore the disdainful looks and take your photo.

Three likes later, you’re filled with disappointment. Was your yolk not yellow enough? The tablecloth not a perfectly contrasting shade of blue? It’s the eternal struggle.

And now, finally, some app developers have answered our prayers and come up with an app specifically designed for taking the perfect Instagram photos of food. Never again will we cry over our lack of double taps.

Foodie, by Line Corporation, has two exciting features.

One, there are specific filters designed to show off your food to its full potential. They’re organised by category: fresh, chewy, crispy, bbq, sweet, romantic, and the general yum.

But even better is the magical best angle feature. When you’re holding your phone above your meal, a banner at the bottom of the app will glow yellow when you’re exactly overhead – creating the perfect angle for your shot.

You’ll still need to arrange your dishes and manage to take your photo before your food gets cold, but this app will make the struggle a little bit easier. Hooray.
